Trader Joe's blog and cooking.
I love croissants. They’re more than just bread. They are bread that loves you. And I like it. I’ve tried anything croissant related at Trader Joe’s. I’ve bought more boxes of Chocolate Croissants than I care to discuss. I love the Almond Croissants just as much. I keep a box of the Ham & Cheese…
I’m pretty sure every candy sale that I’ve ever done or witness that involved a case of chocolate, ended with the packs of Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups being sold out first. And there is good reason for it: it’s just delicious. On the shelves of Trader Joe’s we’ve seen the addition of two new “cups”…
A bagel and a schmear. As a life long New Yorker, I’m pretty sure there is a certain amount of Yiddish that has been added infused into the local lexicon. And when it comes to bagels there is a reason for this.
Finally. Something that can be considered real food. An actual meal. The past month, all the new items that have landed in store have been more or less junk food. I’ve had enough of cookies and sweets for a bit. Well, if it weren’t for one last lap around the store, I would have missed…
Neapolitan. The classic pairing of vanilla, strawberry, and chocolate. We first saw this recently with the seasonally available Neapolitan Joe Joe’s. Now we are seeing it in Trader Joe’s Neapolitan Puffs Cereal. Soon, we will revisit this combination where it all started: in ice cream but with Joe Joe’s. Yup, they seem to be capitalizing…
Behold! A perfectly timed product gracing shelves in time for Valentine’s Day that is chocolate, but quite different. The color you are seeing here is not the result of coloring of any sort. And apparently, this is a new type of chocolate you can be sure that you’ll be seeing more of whether you find…
So far, I’ve reviewed almost 300 items in the freezer section alone. So what are Trader Joe’s Best Frozen Foods? Some of the items are available year round. Other items and are seasonal. I think it’s worthwhile to see what was most loved. Perhaps you’ll see items you are familiar with. Others you might have…
Welcome to the first product specific Fearless Flyer of the year. My goal here with this Trader Joe’s February 2019 Fearless Flyer Matchups are to match the products featured with reviews from this blog and from around the web. If there is a picture next to the product, it is matched with a review from…
I guess Trader Joe’s was feeling many people’s resolve about New Year’s Resolutions. They knew we would cave. So they came out with a long list of sugary items to expedite this process. They’ve welcomed vegan cookies, sunflower seed butter cups, and now these.
I love a good coffee cake. In fact, I posted a recipe here for an easy crumb cake just the other night if you feel like turning your oven on. If you aren’t in baking, here is a store bought option for you. However, this Trader Joe’s Pancake Bread isn’t quite a coffee cake. It’s not…
Vegan cookie review part deux. I figured these cookies need separate reviews. This cookie right here has certain similarities to the lemon variety like the fact it’s vegan, the cookies are huge, and they are new to shelves. However, the taste on these are quite different.
Consider this a brief lemon theme between these cookies and a recent review of a candle. But on my most recent shopping trip there were a few new items hiding in the fresh breads and desserts aisle. In my local store, that happens to be right when I walk in. So grabbed both and hoped…
So, it’s that time of year where certain rose themed items are making their way back on to store shelves. Now, the popular Rose Facial Toner is available all year-long. However, there were two rose themed items that come and go: this and Rose Facial Oil. And while I haven’t seen the facial oil back…
I swung back into the health and beauty aisle this week and what did I find? A new candle. Now, I haven’t reviewed candles in the past. Mainly because they are usually limited run scents. In the past couple months I’ve bought Cedar Balsam, Pumpkin Vanilla, Gingerbread as well as Honey Crisp Apple. What did…
